Proposed changes include a new wharf, an upgraded terminal building and well-designed surrounds for parking, people and the safe movement of vehicles.
Work is planned to start next year, ready for the arrival of two bigger, and more environmentally friendly ferries from 2025.
The Interislander is considered one of the most beautiful in the world, so let’s create an arrival experience to match.
Consultation on proposed design for the Kaiwharawhara terminal is open now until 30 November. Go to wellingtonprecinct.co.nz and have your say.
Something a bit different this week. Put a caption to to this pic from Rosa Marie, taken in her Stokes Valley garden of starlings, a blackbird and a sparrow (is the sparrow playing dead?).
Wellington’s famous, or according to some infamous, Bucket Fountain is missing a yellow bucket.

Losing these funds would cause significant financial strain for the Hospice – can you help us reach our $80,000 fundraising goal? Please share some sweetness by donating to our Hospice Strawberry Festival Appeal today.

Several busy Wellington streets could be blocked to cars as part of a proposal presented to Wellington City Council next week for a low-traffic central city.
It suggests Dixon St and Ghuznee St could both be “snipped” to remove through traffic between Taranaki St and The Terrace.
Victoria St could also be changed, with no traffic between Manners St and Wakefield St, and a possible service lane in the southbound direction.
